The paper this article is based on is from 2009. I’d argue that’s against rule 5.

we don’t know that denuvo ACTUALLY impacts sale numbers by convincing those mean old pirates to buy their game

But we do know it improves sales, that’s why every game publisher that can afford it is using it. They have years of data to prove it. What do you have?

Are most ignoring the numerous examples of Reddit subs users inferred “likely won’t be a big deal” becoming obviously problematic down the line, with the inevitable ban/quarantine occuring with most upset it wasn’t dealt with from the start?

You’ve just explained how Reddit became an echo chamber which is the same road lemmy.world is taking.

I think it’s important to make note of the fact that they were banned on Reddit for good reason

Reddit is an echo chamber. Being banned there is not indicative of anything.

ram, 10 months ago

You’re right, fixed.

This same logic could be used to argue that the government forced people to get the covid vaccine.

Reddit mods should be renamed spez’s bitches.

ram, 10 months ago

I just wish people could stop with the namecalling. Yes, powertripping mods exist. Not everyone who stayed on Reddit is an awful person.

Not everyone, but most.

I remember a similar case regarding Windows shipping with IE. Whatever happened with that?

Lemmy only has the voting per individual post and comment, but doesn’t accumulate this as a sidewide score.

Lemmy does have a karma system. Here’s yours.

Also as a right leaning person everytime I say an opinion I get downvoted to hell, which puts my score in negative.

You can see you total score here.

ram, 10 months ago

Yes it does. Some filtering is done by reddit and some by the mods. Also your votes don’t count if you don’t have certain amount of karma accumulated on the sub you are voting.

ram, 10 months ago

It did if your karma was low enough. It also affected whether your votes were counted or not.

Nobody cared at all

The mods cared. There were many bots used by moderators that relied on karma, the main one being automoderator.

ram, 10 months ago

I agree, but there already is a karma system.

I like being able to say what I want without being banned by a power-tripping mod

There’s currently nothing stopping a mod from creating a bot that deletes comments below certain threshold or that bans users for commenting on communities they don’t approve like they did on Reddit. Only site policies can prevent that.

There’s currently nothing stopping a mod from creating a bot to do the same. Maybe it’s already a thing.

ram, 10 months ago

But what’s the actual problem with the ability for posts to have negative scores?

It incentives self censorship that turns sites into echo chambers. e.g. Reddit

ram, 10 months ago

I agree. One clear example is banning someone for participating on a community the mod doesn’t like. Admins should learn from reddit’s mistakes and limit what mods can and can’t do.

ram, 10 months ago

Site policies can prevent that kind of behavior in that particular site. It’s better than nothing.

In that case the only people that can answer the question are the engineers from those platforms.

I tried it on these platforms:

• Twitter: it works
• Mastodon: it works
• tumblr: it works
• Reddit: it doesn’t loop, video must be at least 2 seconds in length, not allowed in comments
• Discord: not autoplay, no loop
• Lemmy: no video hosting
